@C.D. Wolf, et al, the Vauxhall Chevette is actually a respectable rally car and it is also not a bad tuner, drifter, or track car if it is configured right, and ditto for its American cousins, which are the Chevrolet Chevette and the Pontiac T-1000. I have even seen some people put LS swaps, and heavy modifications, to a Chevrolet Chevette and made it into a surprisingly good muscle car as well. What is to say that the Vauxhall Chevette and Pontiac T-1000 could not also be altered that way as well themselves?

Manta A series was the common swap, for a perfect fit spring / axle brackets needed relocating outwards about 20 mm per side. Manta B or Cavalier axle casings could be narrowed as well ,and use A series Manta halfshafts. Ford English axle diff pinion flanges also straight swap for the horrible u bolt propshaft joint on the front of the torque tube, makes for a better propshaft. Also for front brakes Volvo 240 four pot calipers are an easy fit on the front stub axles with possibly Opel Rekord vented discs.
